Allah
says
in
that
there wasn't an Ummah,
There wasn't an Ummah or a nation of
people
except for a Warner came to them.
This is
an indication that
first of all Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is,
has a connection with his creation.
So there's a set of people or philosophers
that call themselves deists.
So they say, yeah, we believe god created
the earth because there's a fundamental
fallacy
or incoherence in
not saying that the universe was created by
something because nothing
happens on its own. And if there's no
creator, it's as if you're trying to say
that everything happened from nothing, which is
it's unobservable and it's an irrational thought. So
there's a group of people called deists they
say that
that Allah Ta'ala is like a like a
clock maker that made a clock and then
let it run on its own
And, that's not that's not what we believe
about Allah Ta'ala.
But Allah Ta'ala has an intervention with his
creation
and how how should we be surprised that
Allah would intervene
with his creation
and send a messenger to them that tells
them what he wants from them and warns
them about what what dangers they may face
if they don't obey him. Why is that
such a surprise? We believe that the intervention
of Allah Ta'ala in the creation is so
deep that if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala ever
took his attention in his tawaju
of his
away from the creation, that creation wouldn't exist.
Right? The idea of the analogy of the
the
the analogy of the clock maker is assuming
that the clock has an existence other than
what the clock maker gives it. That the
clock maker takes separate parts, puts
Everything else our wujud and our existence is
is contingent on his existence. It's not a
separate existence. So when we say
when we read the, you know, the Quranic
expression that the affair of Allah Ta'ala is
nothing except for
that when he says to something be and
it is. It's not that he said be
some time ago, so many 1,000,000 and billions
and trillions of years ago and things existed
from that time and they've been existing on
their own since then. Rather the commandment of
Allah ta'ala of Kun, of B is something
that's with us in every second of our
existence. If it wasn't, we would
we have no
reality of our own. We have no reality
of our own. So a person who understands
that to them there's no there's no ajab,
there's no
wonder or marvel at the fact that Allah
ta'ala would also
send a Messenger because the intervention of Allah
Ta'ala in his creation is so deep already.
Sending a Messenger is a small matter. Allah
Ta'ala in every instant has taken
responsibility and charge over
every particle that our body is made out
of.
So why would, you know, sending a messenger
would be a small matter
compared to the depth with which Allah Ta'ala
is involved in his creation.
And Allah
says,
in this,
in the in the Surat Surat Saba,
that we did not send you except for
to all
people except for to all people as a
bringer of glad tidings and as a warner
but rather
people most people don't know about don't understand.
And Allah says that we did not send
you except for as a bearer of glad
tidings and as a warner. These are all
sifaat attributes or descriptions of the Messenger of
Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. As for the
the the
the idea of the message of Allah, salallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
being sent for,
for all mankind for all mankind. Part of
this is also something that we have to,
remind ourselves about again and again as well
because we live in a time when,
many people,
even
Muslims, even Muslims themselves,
what the hectic and the reality of iman
is inside the heart, Allah knows best. There
are many people who say that they're Muslims,
but, you know, the windows are all closed
and the lights are off inside.
We don't make a fatwa and kufa on
somebody until they say that I don't believe
it anymore. But there are many people who
claim that they're Muslims but the that, you
know, the the the lights are off, nobody's
home inside. Allah protect us from it. So
we should be very careful about these things.
That when we say that that the prophet
was sent to all people, that means all
people in all times that people exist.
That means the Quran, the sunnah, it's not
old fashioned. It's not.
It's not the tales of the ancients. It's
not something incompatible with modern life. It's not
something incompatible with contemporary life.
To say that is to assume that the
message of Islam is a furoori message, not
an usuli message. The message of Islam in
this usuli message. It's a message of principles.
It's not a message of details. The details
fill in,
later. So if you live in, America in
2015,
that means that you use your cell phone
like a Muslim. If you use Facebook and
Twitter, all that to protect us. But if
you use them, then use them like a
Muslim. If you, you know, drive a car,
you drive a car like a Muslim would
instead of, you know, someone cuts you off
and you flip on the bird and then
scream
4 letter words at them. You know, you
can see that. You see that this happens.
There's someone, you know, they something like that
happens to them and they say, oh, blank
beep. And then there's somebody, something like that
happens.
They'll they'll say they'll
say something like that, that you do those
things like a Muslim. So it's something that
we should remind ourselves. And if someone else
says something silly, if, you know, that, oh,
this is old fashioned or that's old fashioned,
if if you think they'll listen and if
you can do so in a nice way,
remind them that Allah Allah
to all people. That means every time also
that people exist in as a bearer of
glad tidings and as a warner. Not to
say things like that. May Allah,
forgive us and and set
us straight.
